The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Gates Foundation have launched a six-year, CAD11.45-million Climate-Resilient Animal Fund (RECAF) to support smallholder livestock farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Targeting eight countries in the region, RECAF focuses on developing climate-smart technologies and scalable business models—covering animal health, water and feed management, renewable energy, and indigenous knowledge systems—to reduce emissions intensity, boost animal productivity, and strengthen climate resilience through locally led research.
